Tait Wines

The growth in stature for Tait Wines has come about fairly quickly and directly reflects the dedication and vision of Bruno in his wine making skills. Bruno's wines have received very favorable overseas reviews ( 93 Parker points for the 2001 Basket Pressed Shiraz, 92 Parker points for the 2002 "The Ball Buster", 90 Parker points for the 2001 Basket Pressed Cabernet Sauvignon) and this has validated his efforts to make world class wines.
Bruno's wines epitomize the Barossa style -big, rich and full of flavor. The obvious attention to detail along with strong relationships with his growers has allowed Bruno access to high quality fruit (the old vine fruit is from vines 50-80 years old) which he has then transformed into wines that are reflective of his personality - big, generous with loads of personality.
Bruno also works in close partnership with his exporters, an essential ingredient to ensure the wines maintain their own in a competitive market and remain true to his own style. Now with the edition Read more »

Shiraz / Barossa Valley
91 pts. / $14-$21
This is the second time I have reviewed Tait's "Ball Buster". I raved about it last year when the 2005 was released, and I was looking forward to see if the wine quality would remain consistent. It has.
...

This is a lush, juicy Barossa fruit bomb, with big aromas of cherries and black fruits. Very nice notes of chocolate and spice. Altogether a terrific wine, and really good value at under $20 - drinks more like double the price.

A rather mellow RdM from the start. Blackberries, plum, spice, Montalcino dirt and a sprig of zest lead to the palate which sees the same with additional herbal notes, medium tannins and good acidity. Drink now - Paul 88 points

The combination of herbal notes - sage, cilantro, what have you, combined with coffee and bubblegum - yes, bubblegum - and dark berry fruit really stood out. It was enjoyable and easy to drink, except when you had to stop and...

Big wine - when I first opened it to breath it took the room by storm. Big blackberries, red plum and blueberries, chocolate, pepper on the nose lead to chewy tannins and well balanced acidity force their way to a medium long aftertaste that is juicy qand alluring. Could stand another 12 months cellaring then drink. Paul 90 points

Name your wine with the phonetic vulgarity and you're likely to get a few sales and a spot on Slate's recent “The World's Dirtiest Wine Names” list, a collection of colloquial sourced from Strong Language, a blog specializing in vulgar verbiage. “Wine brands, espec...
